... Yes, that's on my wish list as well. Depending on the situation, I usually do a reverse exclude as follows: 1. Create a list of include files/directories ...
Is it reasonable to skip learning xxcopy (at least for now) (!) and ask for the command line/s to do this one simple task? If so, thank you in advance. I teach...
Set up a "batch file" with the command line and save to your hard drive. I suggest creating a folder called C:\Batches in which you can create a .txt file...
... You should add /BN to the above commands. /BU is based on /Bi which will copy brand new or different files. It will copy an older file over a newer one...
Just further precautionary notes: 1. Ensure that the /BN is after /BU in the command line and that both the source and destination specifiers are terminated...
Looking in to the /jv switch, I do not believe it would save any time over my method. It is an alternate way to keep the old files. My method puts them in a...
every time I run it I get a song and dance about the license, install, etc. I can't just run it as is and copy things. Each time I run it it wants to install....

... First of all, you need XXCOPY64 for a 64-bit environment. If you run the regular (32-bit) XXCOPY, it will give you a warning and terminate immediately. To...
I thought I posted a comment to this thread this morning but it disappeared - I am having the identical problem with the 64 Bit ver running on a Win 7 Pro...
I have a destination directory full of files that, if I use the /ts-1 switch, are identical to the source. How do I modify the timestamps on the destination...
... Presumably you've recently been through a daylight savings change and you have mixed FAT & NTFS disk formats for this to occur. - you can allow the copy to...
I had already planned to reformat the source drive. So I was copying all the files to the destination drive. I am copying almost 500GB of data, and I'm...
... No. Copying across a network will definitely be slower than if the src & dst drives are directly connected to the same computer. What about disabling DST...
Disabling DST or changing the time zone, either way I still have to copy all the files that were copied after 2am Sunday. It will take more than 2 days to...
... OK since you now have a mixed group of timestamps, some offset, some not, you'll need a TOUCH utility. Current versions of Xxcopy don't have that ability. ...
... ok, thanks :) Ironically, I'm not sure which will take longer, finding and learning a touch utility, or letting xxcopy re-copy everything, ;-) Certainly...
... You may well be right (quite possible with 1000Mbps) but there are significant overheads with ethernet that reduce its throughput and the only way to tell...
... Not quite. There are efficiencies in reading a HDD disk track so that the hardware doesn't have to move the read heads i.e. it is most efficient to read a...
... I think that's a good point. xxcopy shouldn't worry if it's methods are efficient or not at the lower levels. It should operate as efficiently as possible...
... I don't know the inner workings of xxcopy or even if it uses a block by block copy method. Certainly your suggestion sounds workable (if not reading and...
if i run my xxcopy bat file manually, everything works fine. the bat file begins with a net use command, the source machine connects to the destination...
Try removing the username/password stuff from the net use command, and supply the credentials on the scheduled task. ... From: xxcopy@yahoogroups.com...
No, sorry. Supply the credentials to the scheduled task that you're having issues with. There should be an option to supply credentials, you'd enter it there...
